It is that same as those among you who insist that they are Mr Soandso. Mr is a title awarded by others out of respect for you. It is not and should never be a title you assume for yourself. I never announce myself as Mr. When asked for my name I give it.
It's not my fault, blame Roger Hargreaves, I like my big yellow smiley face!
If I were not Mr I'd merely be "happy" as a statement, such consistency could only be acquired through the use of hardcore drugs.
Alternatively I could add a ? but that would mean I was being confrontational, suggesting the World was causing me many ills. This is nearer the truth but in the brief moments in which I was happy rather than asking "happy?" it would cause much confusion.
May I continue to be "Mr Happy"? I'm not suggesting I've earned the title but I'm not sure who the judge actually is. I do not spit, nor swear in front of children or generally in public, I pay my own way and generally 'do unto others...'
Many thanks...
